*** Challenge Poem 30 ***
*** Dragon
Slayer ***
by 'Barry R. Long'
while proudly standing
at the cave's ancient door
he proceeded to announce, what he
was there for
"dragon I've come to slay you" the
warrior did scream
came back the reply "surely you live in
a dream"
at this he charges forward, as the creature
roars
while still running, the warrior draws his sword
the
cave rumbled, as this prime evil battle ensued
to end up the
loser, meant you'd become food
thrusting his mighty weapon, the
knight did attack
the dragon responded, giving him an almighty
thwack
this championship carried on, for over half a day
that
was until the dragon, no longer wanted to play
after belching
methane, then rubbing his flint teeth
he bellowed out a flame,
the heat was beyond belief
scrambling out the door, with a body
that was cinged
even the thought of more battle made his body
cringe
"take this proof", spitting out a tooth ,"say
I didn't survive"
"call yourself dragon slayer, but
if you return, I'll eat you alive"
